"Celebrating Women" Exhibit

The "Celebrating Women" exhibit has touched on only some of the many aspects of women - from scientists to homemakers, dancers to activists, and topics from abuse and inequality to hope and healing.

Let’s celebrate women’s qualities of strength and resilience, tenderness and caring, women’s healing and spiritual natures, the wisdom of aging, the strong voices and the quiet ones, the women who have worked for women’s rights and justice in our society.

As one of our featured artsits, Shay Burrd, puts it, “It is important as much as possible to celebrate the unique strength, tenderness, wisdom, and compassion that women bring to our world, often in the face of overwhelming odds and barriers.”

It has been my privilege to select the works of these talented and passionate artists, who have so much to express in the Celebration of Women.
